What you are describing is essentially an urban legend. Parents are not being investigated for letting kids bike around.

Also, the most common source of child abuse is a family member, which unfortunately is a common reason for CPS to get involved.

Sure if you ignore all the examples of it happening, after you so rudely lied about in your other reply where you claimed I cited no evidence despite citing sister comment that included articles such as children being taken into cps custody for walking home alone from the park.

Of course the genius is the kidnappers seal most these cases so their relatives can gaslight you about what happened, which is the icing on the cake.

Did you click through them? Only 1 sounds like a simple case of a parent letting kids out to play and CPS taking any action, and cites several people in that community claiming the CPS response as irresponsible. A few of those links are about a law specifically protecting parents rights to allow children to go play at a park unsupervised.
